**Biden Proposes New Regulations for Federal Contractors on Union Organizing**
The Biden administration on Wednesday proposed new regulations that would require federal contractors to provide employees with more information about their right to organize unions and to bargain collectively.
The proposed rule, which was published in the Federal Register, would require contractors with federal contracts worth $500,000 or more to post a notice informing employees of their rights under the National Labor Relations Act. The notice would also have to include information about the contractor’s policies on union organizing and collective bargaining.
In addition, the proposed rule would prohibit contractors from retaliating against employees who engage in union organizing activities. Contractors would also be required to provide employees with reasonable access to union representatives and to allow union representatives to meet with employees on company property.
The proposed rule is part of the Biden administration’s broader effort to promote union organizing and collective bargaining. The administration has also proposed legislation that would make it easier for workers to form unions and to bargain collectively.
The proposed rule is expected to face legal challenges from business groups. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the largest business lobby in the United States, has already vowed to fight the rule.
**Reaction from Labor Unions**
Labor unions have welcomed the proposed rule as a major step forward for workers’ rights.
